Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Examine sentence A ``It is vastly reading is significant" — This sentence is grammatically incorrect and awkward. The phrase ``vastly reading” is not meaningful, and the structure ``It is … is …” is redundant and incorrect. A corrected version might be: \[ \text{"Reading is highly significant."} \] or \[ \text{"It is significant to read extensively."} \] \[ \Rightarrow \text{Incorrect} \] Step 2: Examine sentence B ``Reading for pleasure is linked to parental support at an early age." — This is correct and meaningful, with proper subject-verb agreement and logical flow. \[ \Rightarrow \text{Correct} \] Step 3: Examine sentence C ``We can read intensively and extensively." — This is correct. It uses parallel adverbs (“intensively” and “extensively”) and conveys a clear idea. \[ \Rightarrow \text{Correct} \] Step 4: Examine sentence D ``Basic literacy among the prison population is insignificant." — Grammatically correct and logically coherent. \[ \Rightarrow \text{Correct} \] Step 5: Conclusion Only sentence A is incorrect due to faulty grammar and unclear meaning. \[ \boxed{\text{A}} \]
